Reception
Rick Swan reviewed GURPS Callahan's Crosstime Saloon for Dragon magazine #190 (February 1993).[1] According to Swan, Callahan's Crosstime Saloon "works best as a framing device or an interlude in a conventional fantasy or science-fiction campaign, providing the players can tolerate a little whimsy. There are a fair number of new rules, among them guidelines for psi-blocking powers and intoxication effects, but not enough to discourage determined referees from adapting the book to a different game system."[1]
